Tudor, David / Cage, John
Rainforest II / Mureau



Label: New World Records
Country: USA

A fascinating, remarkable 2-disc set recorded live by Radio Bremen in 1972, documenting a simultaneous performance by David Tudor and John Cage of Rainforest II and Mureau. It's the the only surviving performance of the second of TudorÕs Rainforest series and captures one of the precious few recorded collaborations between these two visionaries.
In 1970 Cage composed the piece called Mureau, in which phrases from ThoreauÕs journals (in particular, passages which touch on the subject of music) are used as the springboard for an elaborate collage. The resultant fabric combines elements of sense and nonsense, as it veers between contextual meaning and a sort of abstract, linguistic vocalise. In CageÕs public readings of Mureau, he explored a number of performance variablesÑdifferences in tempo, vocal timbre, pitch, register, and dynamics. A similar range will be apparent, in fact, when listening to this recorded performance. This simultaneous performance of Mureau and Rainforest II took place in a large concert hall before an audience, rather than privately in a recording studio. Whereas in other performance realizations (such as their legendary Indeterminacy collaboration) the two men had been placed in separate isolation booths, here the two shared the same performance space, so that each could hear and see the other personÕs activity. In fact, Cage and Tudor sat quite close to one another at the center of the stage, Cage performing Mureau as a four-channel realizationÑone live channel against three pre-recorded tracks, all of them his own voiceÑand Tudor actively engaged in real-time processing of CageÕs vocal material, using it to generate electronic loudspeaker-filter events. -New World
